Very nice video. Needs some music. I suggest "disco inferno" burn baby burn :) Anyway, I wonder if you could produce less slag or copper oxide during the remelting to obtain a better yield using various fluxes, nitrogen atmosphere furnace, alumina or zirconia (zircon) crucibles? Also, it would be fun to see various you create various alloya the copper with different metals and ratios (tin, zinc, magnesium, lead, gold, silver, antimony, germanium, bismuth). Then analyze the alloys in various states of crystallization (e.g annealed, work hardened, aged, tempered, solution treated, homogenized) then measure hardness, corrosion resistance (Gibbs equations), ductility, conductivity, ect. :)

Good video I think you need some music tho. Disco inferno would be a good choice.

I am still trying to find my style so I appreciate all the input! I have music in some of my videos and not in others, I haven't decided which I like more.
